"The Manual" lyrics

I've been searching
Through the laundry in the basement of the house and
I'll be reading all the books
Yeah, could be thousands
But I just can't seem to find it anywhere (whoo, whoo)

Took the fast train to Berlin
And now I've just spent every dollar
I washed down those happy pills with holy water
Had a good time but I didn't find it there (whoo, whoo)

It seems so easy
For everybody else
Everybody except myself
'Cause I can't seem to find it at all (whoo, whoo)
The manual

For those who are lost in life
For those who struggle daily, like all the time
Yeah, I've been searching like everywhere
But I can't seem to find it at all
The manual

I've been walking (I've been walking)
Down the carpet with the stars and paparazzi (paparazzi)
Thought the glitter and the glamour made me happy (made me happy)
Till I realized that everything was fake (whoo, whoo)

Went to church and (went to church and)
Read the bible, sang the songs, made my confession (my confession)
Took the test but didn't really learn the lesson (learn the lesson)
Seems like everything I do was a mistake (whoo, whoo)

It seems so easy
For everybody else
Everybody except myself
'Cause I can't seem to find it at all (whoo, whoo)
The manual

For those who are lost in life
For those who struggle daily, like all the time
Yeah, I've been searching like everywhere
But I can't seem to find it at all
The manual

Everyday I feel like giving up
The more I try, the more I'm running out of luck
But I guess one day I'll find it if I never stop

It seems so easy
For everybody else
Everybody except myself
'Cause I can't seem to find it at all (whoo, whoo)

It seems so easy
For everybody else
Everybody except myself
'Cause I can't seem to find it at all (whoo, whoo)
The manual
